Ågerup Church, south-east of Holbæk, was built in the 12th century from split boulders. The church has been rebuilt several times and only a little of the original brickwork is preserved. Both the choir and the nave were lengthened as far back as in the Middle Ages. The tower and porch are from the very end of the Middle Ages. The church furniture includes an unusually decorated font compared with conventional Zealand traditions and a fine little altarpiece from 1509. The church murals were painted in at least three periods: Early Gothic from circa 1300-1350, late Gothic from about 1510-1520 and some coats of arms from about 1600. The murals from 1510-1520 are very unusual with their fast but expressive brush strokes.
